Fall jar luminaries

I stumbled across some really beautiful tea light jar luminaires on a blog called Crafts by Amanda a few weeks ago and just knew I had to make some for myself. This is the kind of craft that's right up my alley. If it involves some sort of glue or paint I'm all in!
 I bought some spray adhesive for about $5, Bought 3 doilys for $3 and had some jars that I had no idea why my husband saved but was thankful that he did and some ribbon from my hairbow makin' days. All in all I guess this craft must have cost me around $9 for 3 luniairies. I didn't glue the ribbon to the rims so I could change it according to the the season or holiday. These were obviously Halloween themed so I will need to change them to Fall soon.
These would make a really beautiful gift for any occasion.As a matter of fact, I think I may just do that for my kids' teachers this year. Woo Hoo. teacher gifts DONE!


 Here are some photos of the ones I made based on the tutorial from Crafts by amanda.

I made it.... Bow Flip Flops

 Here is a follow up to my earlier Bow Flip Flop tutorial originally posted by Live FABULESS. I opted for the permanent bow versus the interchangeable one because I just thought it was dangerous for my 3 year old to have a piece of metal rubbing up against her foot.

 I'm excited to show you how they turned out! Now, you didn't think I'd make them without adding some super cute bottle caps, did you? I'd say this was on the easy to medium scale. If you don't know how to make a bow it would be a little difficult but, if you already have matching hair bows you could make the interchangeable flip flops very easily.
